2006 - Black Z06 Corvette

[Redwings97]

This job came as a referral from the 2009 Corvette I detailed about a month ago. Thanks Mark for the referral.

This was not a full correction detail. The owner of this car has owned black cars before and knows that keeping this black finish perfect on an almost daily driver, is nearly impossible. My original thought was just a PWC blue and top with a LSP. As I was washing the car I saw that I needed to do more to the finish as far as swirl removal. This took a little longer than expected. The work was performed at his shop which had an isolated wash bay complete with water and electric and plenty of room to move around. I have to say the finish is not perfect, but has so much more clarity and more life than it did prior to the polish process. The customer was thrilled and very satisfied with the job.

Process as follows

Wash – 2 bucket method – PB’s SS&S – MF wash mitt (from PB’s)
Dry – using PB’s WW mf towels and Metro Blo and Vac
Clay – yellow Ricardo using PB’s S&W mixed 50:50 with water

One step – M105 mixed 2:1 with PB’s PWC blue using Flex and CCS 6.5” white polishing pad

After correction – The car got another bath due to dusting using the same wash process as above

LSP – 2 coats of 4* UPP

Tires dressed with PB’s B&B

I got this detailing hint from Troy after hitting him up for a good one step process that removes swirls and finishes in one step. Now I am not saying that it removes all the swirls, but with a polishing pad, it does remove a lot. The M105 breaks downs rather quickly so we add PWC blue (in this case) to allow the product to work longer and assist as the finishing polish.

I also have used SSR 2.5 and PWC blue as a combo too.
